Netanyahu did say that there would be a heavy price to pay for attacking Israel. And Gaza is paying the price.
Elsewhere, Israeli aircraft reportedly fired three missiles at a Hamas security forces building in Gaza City. In a third strike, at least one missile was fired at an open area in a town located in the southern part of the Strip. No casualties were reported in the strike.
According to the reports pouring in from Gaza, the Air Force also struck several targets in the northern Strip, including a Hamas military wing building.
Palestinian sources added that the Air Force bombed yet another outpost belonging to Hamas’ military wing in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis. Eyewitnesses reported loud explosions at the site of the attack,
Later at night, the Palestinians said that the Air Force struck several more targets around the Philadelphi route. The army was believed to have targeted smuggling tunnels in the strike.
This is my favorite part of the article:
Senior Fatah official Saeb Erekat warned Israel Thursday night against ‘irresponsible’ retaliation in the Gaza Strip in the wake of the terror offensive in southern Israel earlier in the day.
It’s totally responsible retaliation. Hamas tried to rocket Ashkelon again. Iron Dome earned its keep again. And oh yeah—the goal of the attacks? More prisoners to rot in Gaza.
Too bad the IDF didn’t take out some more Hamas “security” bases before they were emptied. They should wait a day or two until they’re back, and take out a few hundred more “civilians.” Hell, the world is going to scream about Israel’s “disproportionate” response any second now.
